Detailed Implementation
[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these descriptions are merely exemplary and not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Furthermore, descriptions of well-known structures and technologies are omitted in the following description to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the concept of this utility model.
[0025] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1-4 A feeding device for surface mount technology (SMT) of printed circuit boards includes a housing 1. A silicone pad 18 is provided at the bottom of the housing 1. The silicone pad 18 serves as an anti-slip surface, ensuring the stability of the entire device during operation and absorbing vibrations from the ground, reducing noise generated during operation. A conveying assembly 3 is installed inside the housing 1. The conveying assembly 3 consists of two conveying rollers, four sprockets, and two chains. The two conveying rollers are rotatably mounted on the lower front and rear sides of the housing 1, respectively. Each conveying roller has sprockets at both ends, and the chains are wound around the sprockets. The outer surface of the housing 1... A motor 2 is installed on the right side, and the output shaft of the motor 2 is connected to one of the conveying rollers, thereby driving the entire conveying assembly 3. A protective shell 20 is fixed to the outside right side of the housing 1. The motor 2 is located inside the protective shell 20. The protective shell 20 provides physical protection for the motor 2, preventing dust and debris from the external environment from entering the motor 2 and extending its service life. Several placement rollers 4 are evenly spaced on the chain of the conveying assembly 3. The placement rollers 4 are covered with anti-slip cotton sleeves 5 to prevent the circuit board from sliding or shifting on the placement rollers 4. The inside of the housing 1 is... A bidirectional lead screw 6 is installed in the part. One end of the bidirectional lead screw 6 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the housing 1, and the other end extends out of the housing 1 and is fixedly connected to a handwheel 8 for easy manual adjustment of the bidirectional lead screw 6. The handwheel 8 is fitted with an anti-slip sleeve 19, which increases the operating comfort and grip stability of the handwheel 8, making it easier for the operator to accurately adjust the position of the bidirectional lead screw 6. A guide rod 7 is fixedly connected below the bidirectional lead screw 6, and limiting plates 9 are slidably installed on the left and right sides of the top of the conveying assembly 3 at both ends. The limiting plates 9 can slide horizontally along the guide rod 7. The device is designed to limit and protect circuit boards of different widths. It is threadedly connected to a bidirectional lead screw 6. By rotating the bidirectional lead screw 6, the limiting plate 9 can be driven to move horizontally along the guide rod 7, thereby adjusting the distance between the two limiting plates 9 to accommodate circuit boards of different widths, thus providing protection and ensuring that the correct position and orientation are maintained during transportation. The side of the limiting plate 9 closest to the conveying assembly 3 is provided with a soft pad 16. The soft pad 16 is usually made of a soft and elastic material, which can effectively reduce hard contact between the circuit board and the limiting plate 9 during transportation and improve the protection effect.
[0026] When using this device to transport circuit boards, the circuit board is first placed between the placement rollers 4 on the conveying assembly 3, and then the motor 2 is started. The output shaft of the motor 2 directly drives the connected conveying roller to rotate, which in turn drives the chain to move. As the chain moves, the circuit board on it will also move horizontally forward or backward. The anti-slip cotton sleeve 5 outside the placement roller 4 increases the friction and ensures that the circuit board will not slip or shift during the movement. In addition, the operator can rotate the handwheel 8 to rotate the bidirectional lead screw 6, thereby driving the limit plate 9 to move horizontally along the guide rod 7 and adjusting the distance between the two limit plates 9 to suit the width of the circuit board to be processed. This not only improves the versatility of the equipment and the flexibility of the production line, but also ensures the stability and accuracy of the circuit board throughout the entire conveying process, greatly improving production efficiency and product quality, and meeting diverse production needs.
[0027] Example 2: Based on Example 1, please refer to... Figure 5 The upper sides of both the front and rear parts of the housing 1 are fixed with isolation frames 10 by screws. Each isolation frame 10 is equipped with an ion fan 11 to reduce the impact of static electricity on the circuit board. The top and bottom of the isolation frame 10 are respectively provided with air inlets and air outlets to ensure natural airflow and help to form an effective ion distribution environment. Ventilation mesh 12 is provided inside the air inlet and air outlet to prevent dust and other impurities from entering while ensuring airflow. A protective plate 17 is hinged to the isolation frame 10. During maintenance or cleaning, the ion fan 11 can be easily accessed by opening the protective plate 17.
[0028] When the circuit board is fed in or output through the conveying assembly 3, the ion fans 11 located on the front and rear sides of the housing 1 continuously generate and release positive and negative ion streams. These ion streams cover the conveying path, effectively neutralizing the static charge that may accumulate on the surface of the circuit board and in its surrounding environment, preventing component damage or other adverse effects caused by static accumulation.
[0029] Please see Figure 6 The housing 1 has locking holes on both the left and right sides, and insert rods 14 are inserted into the locking holes. The insert rods 14 are used to lock and fix brushes 13, which are used to clean dust or impurities on the conveying assembly 3 and the placement roller 4 to ensure the stability of equipment operation and the cleanliness of the circuit board. Pull rods 15 are fixed to the insert rods 14 to facilitate the quick insertion and removal of the insert rods 14 by the operator, thereby facilitating the installation and removal of brushes 13.
[0030] When cleaning is required, first, ensure that the brush 13 is positioned between the two locking holes. Then, the operator holds the pull rod 15 and inserts the insertion rod 14 into the locking holes on both sides of the housing 1 to engage with the brush 13, thus fixing the brush 13 in place and ensuring that the brush 13 can contact the conveying assembly 3 and the placement roller 4. After the insertion rod 14 is in place, start the conveying assembly 3. At this time, the brush 13 will automatically clean the dust, debris, or other impurities on its surface and the chain as the placement roller 4 moves, ensuring the stability of the equipment operation and the cleanliness of the circuit board. After the cleaning operation is completed, the operator holds the pull rod 15 and pulls the insertion rod 14 outward to pull it out of the locking hole. During this process, the insertion rod 14 will first separate from the brush 13, and then the insertion rod 14 can be easily removed.
